Dalai Lama and his associate, SS war criminal Bruno Beger, a member of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile.
COMMENT: Demonstrating her lack of historical and political awareness, AOC has lent her voice to the anti-China, CIA-linked propaganda chorus, calling for Tibet’s “independence” from China.
As we have seen in past programs, AOC has derived her political momentum from her campaign manager and chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti, an acolyte of Indian fascist Subhas Chandra Bose–“The Duce of Bengal.”
We have covered Tibet and the Dalai Lama in numerous programs, including FTR #‘s 547, 548 and 842.
We suspect that AOC is unaware of the information we have presented, remaining combatively blissful in her characteristic ignorance.
(It should be noted that, although Mr. Emory is fiercely critical of the immature AOC, there are a number of policy issues on which they agree.)
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis For FTR#547 Include: The Tibetan Government in Exile’s selection of SS officers (including war criminals like Bruno Beger) to state their case to the world; the Dalai Lama’s tutor was an SS officer–Heinrich Harrer; the Dalai Lama’s close relationship with Shoko Asahara—the head of the Aum Shinrikyo cult (influenced by Hitler, the cult perpetrated a sarin gas attack in Tokyo); the Dalai Lama’s association with Jean Marques-Riviere (in his absence convicted and given the death sentence for turning Jews over to the Gestapo in France); the Dalai Lama’s association with Chilean occult fascist Miguel Serrano; the apocalyptic, warlike philosophy contained in the brand of Buddhism practiced by the Dalai Lama; the significance of the Kalachakra Sand Mandala and the creation and destruction of such a mandala at the World Trade Center in the 1990’s; the Dalai Lama’s close association with Erkin Alptekin, a former employee of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and an apparent asset of elements of U.S. intelligence; the fact that the Dalai Lama consults regularly with a monk said to be possessed by the spirit of a Mongolian War God; the Dalai Lama’s connections to the CIA; the Dalai Lama’s collaboration with Al Qaeda-related Islamist elements in Xinjiang province.
Key Points of Discussion and Analysis for FTR #548 Include: Further discussion of the Dalai Lama’s operational links to the CIA; Discussion of the theocratic feudalism that characterized Tibet under the Dalai Lama(s); a sample inventory of the instruments of bondage and torture employed by the monk/landlords of Tibet: “In the Dalai Lama’s Tibet, torture and mutilation—including eye gouging, the pulling out of tongues, hamstringing, and amputation–were favored punishments inflicted upon runaway serfs and thieves. Journeying through Tibet in the 1960s, Stuart and Roma Gelder interviewed a former serf, Tsereh Wang Tuei, who had stolen two sheep belonging to a monastery. For this he had both his eyes gouged out and his hand mutilated beyond use. He explains that he no longer is a Buddhist: ‘When a holy lama told them to blind me I thought there was no good in religion.’ Since it was against Buddhist teachings to take human life, some offenders were severely lashed and then ‘left to God’ in the freezing night to die. ‘The parallels between Tibet and medieval Europe are striking,’ concludes Tom Grunfeld in his book on Tibet. In 1959, Anna Louise Strong visited an exhibition of torture equipment that had been used by the Tibetan overlords. There were handcuffs of all sizes, including small ones for children, and instruments for cutting off noses and ears, gouging out eyes, and breaking off hands. There were instruments for slicing off kneecaps and heels, or hamstringing legs. There were hot brands, whips, and special implements for disemboweling. . . .



The Political Implications of the UFO Phenomenon and the "ET" Myth

Hi Dave,
Saikat Chakrabarti announced that he is running for Pelosi’s seat. San Francisco Twitter/X is digging up whatever it can to criticize him, here’s some highlights. I have links and screenshots.
My simple summary: whatever he was doing with AOC, Justice Dems, Brand New Congress, and Bernie ... is what he’s still doing.
1. Rebellion PAC is formed by Cenk Uygur and Brianna Wu in 11/2019. Saikat provides 25K in 04/2022. Rebellion PAC stops tweeting three weeks later, starts again three years later. Looks like Saikat, Cenk, and Wu start the Rebellion Policy Institute sometime in 2022, this according to 990EZ on file, which also documents payments to Wu. Saikat made additional payments in 2023.
Should also be noted that one of the top donors to Rebellion PAC is Joseph Sanberg, who recently entered guilty pleas to two counts of wire fraud.

2. Speculation about Saikat joining (or however you want to characterize it) Sanders campaign in 2016 as a way for Stripe to get voting and commercial data. Many campaigns were using Stripe.

3. Why was Bernie constantly talking about $27 campaign donations? The more donations of this size, the more transaction fees for Stripe?

4. Corbin Trent launches No Excuses PAC to fight the filibuster. PAC mostly does nothing except funnel money to a podcast featuring Zack Exley and ... Saikat!

5. Recently, on Threads (I have screenshot), he claimed his father immigrated to the US with $8 in his pocket. Also recently, he claimed his father came to the US because he was recruited to work for NASA!!

Haven’t been able find anything on his dad at NASA. Apparently he was working at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission when he retired. First name might be Samir.
6. Saikat’s recent financial disclosure report:
https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/financial-pdfs/2025/10063516.pdf
Plenty of AI, real estate, and of course Stripe.
7. People in SF who are DSA are going after him because in a recent SF Board of Supes race he backed Bilal Mahmood over SF’s favorite DSA member Dean Preston. Bilal portrayed himself as a climate action guy and a neuroscientist, neither of which appears to have any legitimacy. Sort of an AOC 2.0 in that regard. Once again, Saikat appears to have skirted some campaign financing rules to make this happen. This is based on financial disclosures made by/to SPUR, the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (have screenshots).
8. Saikat donated money to Michael Lai, another tech guy, who ran for SF Board of Supes. Donation was in 05/2024. One week later Lai was at one of those Holy Guacamole events with Peter Thiel and Trae Stephens. Here is neighborhood opposition to Lai:

9. Random: Saikat appears to have launched his campaign from a cafe in SF’s Mission District called Manny’s, which is owned by a former member of the IDF. Many local and national politicians have events there, including Kamala Harris when she was running for Pres.
Ryan Grim and Lee Fang, formerly of The Intercept, have both stepped in to the Twitter debate to defend Saikat.
All for now,
M.
